What excitement! when "OUR BROTHER WHO WALKS ON THE WIND" displays his lovely wings during a Halloween party presentation at Redding's YMCA Nursery |
See how confidently these toddlers approach to touch the beautiful Red Tailed Hawk? There is a mutual trust between the innocent children and the equallly innocent bird. Children have no natural fear of animals - that behavior is learned. When wildlife is introduced into their lives early, a precious bond is formed between the children and their animals. They will forever remember that positive sharing of their wild heritage. Their respect for life is enhanced by the enchanting experience of seeing and touching this magnificent wild bird. The long term results will be future citizens with a grounded perspective of the importance of their obligation to protect and cherish the wondrous creatures with whom we share planet earth. If you are lucky enough to have wildlife center that does educational outreach - support their program! |
